There's members like that on every forum. Some just like to read and lurk, others join from other forums to see what competition they have.I personally don't see the problem at all with people lurking around the forum FOR INFORMATION - but not just to lurk and not pick up anything along the way. My dad reads a motobike forum but isn't a member, and he grabs information to help him with his own motobikes. And I don't see the problem in that, but people who registered and then continued to only lurk is pointless. That membership space could be open to a participating member. SarahHound; what do you mean by the text in bold and in purple that I have highlighted??

Well, people who own a pet forum will often join other forums to see what their own forum may be lacking or excelling in Might sound daft to some, but I know several pet/dog forum owners personally and they definitely do this. Never post, but check what's going on and 'take' topics back to their own forum.
